Breast augmentation recovery depends on the techniques used and any additional surgeries included. However, in general, breast augmentation recovery requires a bit of downtime and rest to ensure you heal properly. Some recovery steps include:
- Keep the surgical bra on for a week or so (or until your provider removes it)
- Take a few days off of work so you can get proper rest
- Avoid lifting anything heavy (10 lbs or more) for at least a few weeks
- Avoid excessive workouts until your provider clears you to do so
- Attend every follow-up appointment with your provider to ensure you heal correctly
